I miss you

The corpse wrapped in ice was clearly writhing slowly. Although the movement range was small, because Zhou Jiayu focused all his attention on it, he could see it clearly.

The innermost part of the ice cube is wrapped with a beautiful branch, presumably it is the branch of the ancestor tree that Xu Jinghuo cut off before.

"What should I do?" Zhou Jiayu was a little at a loss.

"I can only take it back." Elder Xu sighed helplessly, "These children have also encountered an indiscriminate disaster."

He was obviously out on a trip, but unexpectedly lost his life.

"Well, let's go back." Lin Zhushui said, "Xu Jinghuo should still be in the village."

When they went back, they were still sitting on the sled, but behind them there was a large block of ice tied up with a rope, and there were still several writhing corpses frozen in the ice block.Zhou Jiayu didn't look behind him much.Zhou Jiayu also noticed that there seemed to be one less paper figurine who brought them here, and it seemed that they had reported to the village in advance under the order of Elder Xu.

I don't know if it was because of the ancestral tree, Zhou Jiayu clearly felt that he had some connection with this place, and he could also feel a gentle gaze, so he told Lin Zhushui about this feeling.Lin Zhushui said it was because he was recognized by the ancestor tree.

"Why would Zushu admit me?" Zhou Jiayu said, "I feel like I didn't do anything..." He felt quite baffled.

Lin Zhushui said, "Physical problems."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." He is very popular, but this kind of popularity always has a sense of uneasiness, as if one day you turned into a big cake and walked on the street, everyone on the street was right. You cast gentle eyes, and some people even express that they like you, but I always worry that their so-called liking will suddenly bite off at a certain moment...

The sled went all the way, although the corpses in the ice cubes behind them were still writhing, but fortunately the temperature was low enough that the ice cubes would not melt, otherwise Zhou Jiayu really didn't dare to think that they would have to hug each of them and bring these corpses with him. The look of going back.

On the way back, Mr. Xu was obviously not in a good mood as he was when he came, and he was very silent all the time, probably because he was affected by Xu Jinghuo's incident.

The night passed like this, and there were patches of morning light on the horizon.The white snowflakes began to flutter down again, Zhou Jiayu reached out to catch them, feeling the little by little melting in his palm.

Lin Zhushui said: "There should be a snowstorm in a few days."

Zhou Jiayu said: "If the snow is too heavy, the train will be blocked, right?"

Lin Zhushui said, "Yes."

Zhou Jiayu said: "Oh...then we're going to stay here for the New Year?"

Lin Zhushui said: "Why, do you want to go back?"

The matter of Chinese New Year was actually not that important to Zhou Jiayu, because he would either go back to the orphanage to spend it with the children there, or spend it alone.But after being reborn, deep down in his heart, he was vaguely looking forward to this festival.

"It's okay." Zhou Jiayu said dishonestly, "Just asking."

The corners of Lin Zhushui's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't speak.

The sled arrived at the gate of the village, just when it came to a complete stop, a dozen or so paper figurines sprang out, and began to circle and twist around Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by their actions, he said, "What's going on?"

Lin Zhushui said: "It's like this after the ancestor tree admitted you."

If these paper figurines said that they only liked Zhou Jiayu before, they could use the word infatuation to describe them now. If they had expressions, they would definitely look like idiots. Zhou Jiayu was even lifted up by them.

"Okay, okay, don't scare people, put it down quickly." Mr. Xu said beside him, "Carry the ice cubes in..."

Zhou Jiayu was put down just now, his whole body was dizzy, and he almost couldn't stand still, but it was Lin Zhushui who was next to him to help him.

"In the future, as long as the paper figurines born from this ancestral tree can't hurt you anymore." Lin Zhushui said, "You can still learn to make your own paper figurines."

Zhou Jiayu's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "My own paper figurine?"

Lin Zhushui nodded: "I'll teach you when I get back."

Zhou Jiayu was quite happy when he heard the words, thinking that he would have No. [-] Peeling Girl by his side, and Shen Yiqiong was currently playing the role of No. [-] Peaning Girl...

The villagers were very surprised when they saw the ice cubes they brought back. Mr. Xu explained the situation briefly, and Zhou Jiayu noticed that the expressions of the people around him became much darker when they heard the name Xu Jinghuo.

"Why did brother Jinghuo become like this?" The girl who arranged the brick house for Zhou Jiayu and the others was even more depressed, she said, "He was not like this before...why...what happened to him? , it became like this..."

Elder Xu said coldly: "Don't call him brother, he is no longer a member of the Xu family."

The granddaughter wiped her tears with her hand when she heard the words, then responded in a low voice, turned around and left silently.Judging from her performance, Xu Jinghuo should have a good relationship with her when she was in the Xu family.

Shen Yiqiong and Shen Musi also surrounded and saw the frozen body behind Zhou Jiayu and the others.

Shen Yiqiong was still quite close to the ice block, but suddenly found that the body in the ice block seemed to be writhing, and the whole body bounced away in an instant, saying: "Why is it still moving!"

Zhou Jiayu said: "I don't know, what to do with this corpse..."

Shen Musi said, "Call the police?"

Zhou Jiayu said: "Then how would the police react when they saw the corpse still moving..."

Shen Yiqiong said: "It's okay, they will always find a scientific excuse to explain, we don't need to worry at all."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." He inexplicably remembered Approaching Science, a popular science program at the time. In the program, there was a story about a person who could suck blood from an iron pipe. After some research and investigation, experts were surprised to find that The answer came—the man's gums were bleeding.

"Sigh, these children are pitiful." Old Xu sighed, "It's a crime."

Lin Zhushui didn't say much, turned his head and said, "Is anyone out of the village?"

"No." A girl replied loudly, "After receiving the news from Mr. Xu, we sent people to block all the exits in the village."

Lin Zhushui raised his eyebrows: "How many have you sent?"

The girl said, "A dozen or so, he probably won't be able to escape."

Lin Zhushui was noncommittal, and asked instead: "Did anyone go down the mountain during this period?"

The girl hesitated for a while, but nodded and said: "Yes, there is, but it is a girl in our clan. She has a heart problem. She was frightened tonight. We are afraid that something will happen to her, so we let the paper doll Escorted her to the town." She also reiterated, saying, "The girl is petite, she must not be pretending to be shocked!"

Elder Xu knew it was over as soon as he heard it, and he sighed: "Silly girl, this made him run away again!"

The girl was stunned when she heard the words, and said in a daze: "Run away? But, the one who left the village tonight is the only one, a big man as tall as Xu Jinghuo——"

"He must have his own way." Old Xu said, "Did you see the branches of the ancestral tree? He also cut them down."

The girl looked at the branches of the ancestral tree that had been frozen together with the corpse, but she burst into tears. She choked up and said, "How could he do this..."

Mr. Xu didn't speak, he took out a cigarette from his arms and began to smoke silently.

Being run away by Xu Jinghuo, Lin Zhushui was not too surprised, he said lightly: "Forget it, there must be someone behind Xu Jinghuo." After Xu Jinghuo entered the world, he must have encountered something to suddenly become angry He changed and betrayed his own people.And judging from his methods, there is definitely a force behind him, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be single-handed.It would be a little strange if Xu Jinghuo was caught like this.

The reaction of Lin Zhushui and Mr. Xu was indeed correct. Ten minutes later, they found the girl suffering from heart disease who should have been sent out of the village on the third floor of a small building.She was stunned and passed out, but her body was fine.

People in the village were lamenting about this incident, but Zhou Jiayu's cell phone rang. He picked up the cell phone and found that it was "Xiaoju" who had exchanged phone numbers with him before.

"Sir..." Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a while, and decided to ask Lin Zhushui for his opinion.

"Xu Jinghuo?" Lin Zhushui had already guessed it, and he said, "Go ahead."

After Zhou Jiayu answered the phone, he pressed the speakerphone.

"Hi, how are you all?" Still in the familiar tone, but his voice changed again, Xu Jing said angrily, "I'm on the train now, and I'm about to leave here. Your name is Zhou Jiayu, right? Don't worry, I'm still very interested in you, wait for me to come to you again, cute little fish."

Zhou Jiayu said: "You are obviously injured, so what are you doing so happily?"

Xu Jinghuo said, "Because you still haven't caught me." He laughed in a good mood as he spoke.

If someone else heard Xu Jinghuo's almost provocative words and laughter, he would probably be instantly angry, but Lin Zhushui seemed to have a good temper and said, "Bon voyage."

Xu Jinghuo was quiet for a moment, he said: "Lin Zhushui, what did you do to me?"

Lin Zhushui said, "You guess?"

After he finished speaking, he told Zhou Jiayu to hang up the phone directly, and then turned off the phone.

Zhou Jiayu was really curious, so he asked Lin Zhushui what happened to Xu Jinghuo.

Lin Zhushui sneered: "He likes to pretend to be someone else, so I'll make him unable to change back."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." So now Xu Jinghuo still looks like a girl?

Zhou Jiayu didn't know how long Xu Jinghuo had been in that state before he changed back. The only thing he knew was that Xu Jinghuo had been calling and swearing frequently for a long time, and he didn't know how angry he was. What happened.Every time Zhou Jiayu was in a good mood, he turned on the mute, and after he had finished scolding, he kindly asked, have you finished scolding?I hung up after scolding, I just went to cook and didn't hear.Under normal circumstances, Xu Jinghuo would be so angry that he would explode when he heard this.

After doing this several times, Xu Jinghuo gave up harassing Zhou Jiayu.

Because there was no way to deal with the corpse, they finally chose to call the police. It was already afternoon when the police from the small town arrived, and Zhou Jiayu just caught up.

"The ticket is set." Shen Mu Sishui said, "Tomorrow afternoon."

Zhou Jiayu said: "Are you going back so soon?" He always felt that Lin Zhushui still had some things to do.

"Yeah." It was Shen Musi who arranged these things, he said, "Sir, it's Chinese New Year, let's take advantage of this time to get together."

It was only then that Zhou Jiayu remembered that he seemed to have only seen Chaosan a few times so far, and that Shen Erbai had been outside and hadn't been back much. He was a little curious, so he asked the question that was on his mind.

When Shen Musi heard the names of his two juniors, his expression softened obviously, and he said: "They are dealing with things outside, there are some things that you don't want to do yourself, so let us go, that is, Yiqiong is relatively young now. , and have no actual combat experience, so he has been by my husband's side, and in a few years, he should go out alone."

After Zhou Jiayu finished listening, the first thought that popped into his mind was... Then he will go out alone in the future.

Who knew that Shen Musi seemed to see through what he was thinking, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "You don't have to worry about this for the time being."

Zhou Jiayu said, "Ah? Why?"

Shen Mu said: "Well... I guess even if you are capable, Mister won't let you go out alone."

Zhou Jiayu was still confused and didn't understand.

Shen Musi looked at him like this, and smiled: "What? Forgot my identity as a liar? Let you out alone, what should you do if you run away?"

Zhou Jiayu: "..." He suddenly understood.

To be honest, except for the first period of time, Zhou Jiayu really almost forgot about his identity.

On the day of leaving, Xu Laosong gave Zhou Jiayu a small gift.It was a small branch, which looked very ordinary, and belonged to the kind that would be swept away as garbage if it fell on the side of the road.

But Zhou Jiayu knew that this was the branch of the ancestral tree.

After the ice melted, the originally crystal-clear branch of the ancestral tree turned into an ordinary tree, with rough bark and a brown trunk, and the only thing that was special was the emerald green leaves.

Elder Xu carefully took the ancestral tree out of the ice, and put it into the prepared large cardboard box, saying that he must rebury it sometime.

Seeing Mr. Xu's attitude, Zhou Jiayu was flattered to receive this gift, and wanted to decline, but Mr. Xu smiled and told Zhou Jiayu that it was the meaning of the ancestor tree, and asked Zhou Jiayu to accompany him before leaving. He goes somewhere.

Lin Zhushui signaled Zhou Jiayu to follow Xu Lao.

The place we went this time was a small river not far from the village. After Zhou Jiayu reached the river, Mr. Xu took out his whistle and blew it again.

The next moment, countless little paper figurines popped up under the originally frozen river. These paper figurines looked smaller than the paper figurines walking in the village. Looking at Zhou Jiayu, some even tapped their palms curiously.

Following Mr. Xu's order, the frozen surface of the ice was broken, revealing the flowing water underneath.This small river is exceptionally clear, Zhou Jiayu can even see the pebbles sinking in the bottom of the water.The little paper people are only the size of a palm, they have no faces and no clothes, they lie on the riverside and look up at Zhou Jiayu. Although they have no eyes, Zhou Jiayu senses curiosity and intimacy from their actions .

Under the water, Zhou Jiayu saw something familiar - the ice sculpture that the woman didn't have that he saw in the hotel in the town before.

The ice sculpture stood in the slowly flowing river, maintaining a waving posture. Watching it closely, Zhou Jiayu saw a kind of compassionate smile on her face.

Xu Lao said: "Xu Jinghuo has been looking for this."

Zhou Jiayu was startled, and found that when Mr. Xu was speaking, the smile on Bing Sculpture's face gradually faded, and there was a look of sadness in his eyes.

Mr. Xu said: "If you want to produce paper figurines, you have to sacrifice every year. The ancestor tree's favorite sacrifice is the ice sculpture." He said slowly, "So we make a special ice sculpture every year. On the occasion, throw it into the deep pit as a sacrifice to the ancestral tree."

Elder Xu sighed, and said in a vicissitudes of tone: "What Xu Jinghuo wants is this ice sculpture."

Zhou Jiayu said softly, "Can I touch it?"

Elder Xu smiled and said, "Of course."

Zhou Jiayu stretched out his hand, and lightly touched this beautiful and flexible sculpture. He moved carefully, and only touched the fluttering hair of the ice sculpture with his fingertips, then retracted his hand.

"I guess he wanted to find out how to make this ice sculpture." Xu Laodao, "So we hid the ice sculpture. This ice sculpture is invisible to ordinary people. Once you see it, you will be frozen immediately, and you will be injured at least, or you will die. , every time we are careful."

Zhou Jiayu thought of the situation when he saw the ice sculpture, and shivered involuntarily.

Elder Xu continued: "This ice sculpture is usually placed in the cemetery. Xu Jinghuo followed us in, probably because of it."

When he was speaking, a few tears fell from the ice sculpture's eye sockets. After the tears fell from the cheeks, they instantly condensed into drops of ice, and Zhou Jiayu involuntarily stretched out his hand to catch them.

"They all like you very much." Xu Lao said, "If you want, you can choose a small paper doll to raise, and it will grow bigger after a period of time. The paper dolls here are different from ordinary paper dolls. One's own mind can communicate with the manipulator's mind."

Zhou Jiayu was indeed a little moved when he heard this, but at the same time he hesitated: "But is it okay to let them leave here?"

Old Xu sighed. He turned his back and looked at the village with green smoke rising behind him: "Maybe we are really going to be eliminated by history, and there is nothing wrong with going out."

In the end, Zhou Jiayu accepted Mr. Xu's kindness.He put his hand into the icy water, trying to pick up a little paper doll.Some of these paper figurines began to back away, while others tried to get close to Zhou Jiayu. One of them was the most courageous, trembling, and carefully grabbed Zhou Jiayu's fingers with its thin thin hand.

With a thought in his heart, Zhou Jiayu scooped him up with his own palm.There is not much difference between this little paper doll and the other little paper dolls at present, even walking a little unsteadily, it crawled along Zhou Jiayu's arm to his shoulder, and then rubbed his head against it. Rubbed Zhou Jiayu's chin.

Zhou Jiayu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Elder Xu also showed a kind smile.

But they were happy, but some people were not happy. In Zhou Jiayu's mind, he said quietly, "Okay, the weasel at home has not been killed yet, and there is another opponent."

Zhou Jiayu smiled and said, "Are you jealous? Why don't you like talking lately?"

Ji Ba groaned and groaned, pecking the tortoise shell under his feet a few times with his milk-yellow mouth to vent his inner emotions: "I don't want to, but have you forgotten what happened before? I suspected that Lin Zhushui could hear my voice, so I tried to keep quiet." Who knew it didn't dare to speak, but it gave these little bitches a chance to take over.Ji Ba was full of grievances in his heart, and even wanted to blow his hair a little bit.Zhou Jiayu wanted to laugh when he heard what it said, but he held back his smile and hurriedly spoke a few words of comfort.Jiba reluctantly accepted it.

The little paper figurine liked Zhou Jiayu very much, and put his small arms around Zhou Jiayu's neck.

After Mr. Xu said some precautions, he blew the whistle again, freezing the river again.

In fact, raising paper people is much easier than raising things. According to Mr. Xu, as long as you don't feed them randomly and pay attention to the usual communication, there will be basically no problems.

Zhou Jiayu asked curiously, "What do you mean by feeding things randomly?"

Xu Laodao: "They like to eat paper, but you must not feed them talisman paper. If you feed them, they will easily have diarrhea..."

Zhou Jiayu was shocked: "Paper can still have diarrhea?"

Mr. Xu said: "No, it's troublesome to pull it up. It took a while to get it right."

Zhou Jiayu said: "Then... can I feed meat or something?"

Mr. Xu nodded: "Their favorite thing to eat is incense ash, but it doesn't matter if you eat it or not. You have a lot of yin energy on your body, so it's okay for it to eat this." Fish are more suitable for feeding paper figurines. This paper figurine can also absorb the cold air from Zhou Jiayu's body and help him lessen his attraction to other dirty things.

Zhou Jiayu took the paper man back to the village, and Shen Yiqiong's eyes were straightened when he saw it, and he was extremely envious.But the paper man didn't recognize his life, and when Shen Yiqiong embraced him, he obediently lay on Shen Yiqiong's chest.

Shen Yiqiong's heart melted: "Wow!! It's so cute!!!"

"Let's go." Shen Musi urged helplessly, "If you are late, you will not be able to catch the train."

There is already a sign of a snowstorm today, and the wind on the mountain is whistling, mixed with large snowflakes, which hurt people's cheeks.

This time down the mountain, Mr. Xu prepared a sled for them, and finally they didn't have to go down the mountain on foot.

The little paper man seemed to be afraid of Lin Zhushui, Zhou Jiayu was sitting on the right side of Lin Zhushui, and it tried to hide under the clothes.Zhou Jiayu was tickled by it, but Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand, pinched it between his index and middle fingers, and said, "Don't let it crawl into your clothes, the paper man is vicious, it's not good for your health. "

Zhou Jiayu said yes, and carefully educated him with the paper figurine.

The little paper man could understand human speech, and after being taught a lesson, it shrank into a paper ball. Zhou Jiayu didn't comfort it, but carefully put it in his pocket.Elder Xu once said that teaching it is like teaching a child, rewards and punishments are still clearly defined, and it cannot be left to behave without rules.

"Let's go." Mr. Xu greeted the sleigh, "Come back when you have time."

Zhou Jiayu waved goodbye to them. He originally thought that this trip with paper dolls would be full of horror, but he didn't expect that in the end, it turned out to be as cute as a fairy tale.He put his hand into his pocket, touched the paper man's head lightly, and showed a gentle smile.

The four got into the car, and with the sound of the whistle, the long train drove out of the mountain village with a bang.

A few days later, Zhou Jiayu returned home.

Shen Yiqiong and Shen Musi walked in front of him, and as soon as they entered the room, Shen Yiqiong burst into a cheerful voice: "Brother, you are back!"

Zhou Jiayu went in and took a look, and found two people sitting in the living room, one was Shen Erbai whom he had seen before, and the other was a somewhat unfamiliar face, presumably it was Shen Chaosan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Chaosan's body was extremely muscular, because the heating was turned on in the room, so he didn't wear much, and his strong muscles and strong physique could be felt through the outline of his clothes.After he stood up, people felt even more oppressive. Zhou Jiayu's height of 1.7 meters was almost like a child in front of him.

Shen Yiqiong rushed over, and Shen Chaosan put his arms around his neck directly. Shen Chaosan said, "You're back?"

Shen Yiqiong said, "I'm back!"

Their relationship seems to be very good, um... To be precise, Shen Yiqiong has a good relationship with these senior brothers, and everyone takes care of him like their own younger brother.

Shen Chaosan glanced at Zhou Jiayu, walked in front of him, and stretched out his hand to him: "Long time no see."

Zhou Jiayu held his palm and said, "Long time no see."

"Welcome back." Shen Chaosan grabbed Zhou Jiayu's hand and shook it vigorously, his voice was as low as an ancient clock.

Zhou Jiayu was a little uncertain whether Shen Chaosan's "Welcome back" was serious or had other meanings, but he didn't think too much about it, and just smiled.

The two senior brothers came back, and the somewhat deserted room became lively in an instant. The four of them gathered together, plus the newcomers Zhou Jiayu and Weasel.

However, the weasel was not in such a good mood as these people. Its eyes were straightened when it saw the paper man running out of Zhou Jiayu's arms.At first Zhou Jiayu thought it liked paper figurines, but after Shen Musi reminded him, he realized that the weasel was angry, and it was very angry.The weasel's mood lasted until night, and after Zhou Jiayu made chicken for him, it barely subsided, but it was still full of hostility towards the paper doll, and Zhou Jiayu even suspected that it wanted to find a chance to swallow the paper doll in one gulp ...

During dinner, the room was very lively.

Shen Erbai and Shen Musi talked about the strange things they encountered outside, Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu listened with gusto.

After eating and washing up briefly, several people went back to their rooms to rest, and the whole building became quiet again.

Zhou Jiayu also returned to his room on the third floor.

He didn't rush to bed, but sat by the window for a while.

At this time, the feather-like snowflakes fell on the ground outside, making a unique rustling sound, and the trees in the garden trembled their crowns due to the howling wind.

Zhou Jiayu saw a figure through the window.

The figure was a little far away from him, sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the yard, Zhou Jiayu looked carefully for a long time before he was sure that it was Lin Zhushui.

He seemed to be drinking alone in the courtyard, a layer of snow fell on his head and shoulders, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting there.

The whole world was silent, Lin Zhushui was alone, he lifted the glass lightly, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.This was Zhou Jiayu, the first time he saw Lin Zhushui like this.Lonely and indifferent, he seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment, as silent as the pines and cypresses in the snow wind.Zhou Jiayu even had the illusion that he would disappear in front of her in the next moment.

Gritting her teeth, Zhou Jiayu casually put on a down jacket and ran downstairs.He first went to the kitchen to get what he wanted, and then ran out of the wooden building.

According to the direction he saw from the window just now, Zhou Jiayu hurried out the door. He was running, wanting to get to Lin Zhushui quickly.

But after running for a while, Zhou Jiayu found that he had made a fatal mistake—the path in the yard was not as simple as he thought, but changed. Backtrack.

"What should I do?" Zhou Jiayu panted with a wry smile, "I got lost."

Ji Ba Dao: "The pines and cypresses in this yard are a formation, and the roads are also laid out according to the five elements and eight trigrams. If no one leads you, you will definitely not be able to get out."

Zhou Jiayu quickly touched his pocket, and then became even more desperate to find that he came out in too much haste just now, leaving his phone behind and not bringing it out.

"Oh." Zhou Jiayu sighed, "It's too miserable."

Satoba agrees.

It was getting darker and darker, and Zhou Jiayu didn't know how long he had been wandering around the yard. As he stayed outside for too long, his body temperature also began to drop.Zhou Jiayu was still joking with Jiba at the beginning, but he couldn't laugh at the end. He gasped and said, "My God, do you want to spend the night outside? I'm really afraid they will find me here tomorrow morning. Frozen corpses..."

Jiba was also a little helpless.

While worrying about getting lost, Zhou Jiayu saw a warm light not far in front of him.The light flickered slightly, as if pointing the direction for Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu said: "There is light!" He quickly ran in that direction, but accidentally slipped his foot and fell down in the snow.

The fall was a bit severe, and it took Zhou Jiayu a while to force himself up with his hands, trying to get up.

However, when he looked up again, he saw that light appearing in front of him - it was a beautiful red lantern, gently held by a pair of white and slender hands.

"Zhou Jiayu." Lin Zhushui's voice sounded directly above Zhou Jiayu, a little weak, but still so pleasant, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Jiayu saw Lin Zhushui's face. The eyes on that face were still closed, and the light-colored thin lips curled into a tight arc. Snowflakes fell on his head, shoulders, and one more. The curls hung gently on his long eyelashes.

Zhou Jiayu's heart beat uncontrollably. He was so nervous that he didn't even know what to say. In the end, he could only stretch out his hand stiffly, and handed the thing he was holding in his right hand to the person in front of him: "Sir, I'll bring you some food and drink."

Lin Zhushui was silent.

Zhou Jiayu looked towards his right hand, only to find that the bag he was carrying the appetizers had a big hole in, and all the contents inside were scattered on the ground.

Zhou Jiayu: "..." Oh shit.

Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand to Zhou Jiayu: "Get up."

Zhou Jiayu quickly took Lin Zhushui's hand, and stood up from the snow with his strength, patting the snowflakes on his body.

Lin Zhushui didn't speak, turned around and left with the lantern in hand.Zhou Jiayu quickly followed behind him, not daring to ask him where he was going.

The two walked through the forest for about three or four minutes. Lin Zhushui, who was leading the way in front, stopped.

"Sit." Lin Zhushui said.

Zhou Jiayu took a closer look and found that this was the courtyard where Lin Zhushui had been drinking just now. It was only after he entered that he realized that this courtyard seemed different from the outside.It seems to be open here, but in fact there is no howling cold wind, and the temperature is slightly higher than outside.

Zhou Jiayu sat down on the stone bench and watched Lin Zhushui pour him a glass of wine.

The wine was a faint emerald color, exuding the unique aroma of plants and trees, the breath was clear and very alluring.

"You can only taste one cup of this wine." Lin Zhushui said, "Try it."

Zhou Jiayu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then his entire face flushed red.This seemingly gentle wine was extremely strong, hotter than the burnt knives Zhou Jiayu had ever drank. After drinking it, it slashed down his throat like a knife blade.But this is only the initial feeling. After passing through the throat, the aroma of the wine swayed in the chest at once, with layers of aftertaste, which made people have endless aftertaste, and the root of the tongue also had a sweet aftertaste.

"Good wine!" Zhou Jiayu was amazed.

"Naturally it's good wine." Lin Zhushui poured himself a glass, drank it all, and said, "Zhou Jiayu, do you know why I tattooed you with lotus fish?"

Zhou Jiayu shook his head blankly.

"The lotus flower leaves its roots and grows hair in the coming year, which symbolizes the reincarnation of the soul." Lin Zhushui said, "It's very suitable for you."

Zhou Jiayu was stunned for a moment, Lin Zhushui had already said it so clearly, how could he not understand, he said: "Sir, you already...know?"

Lin Zhushui didn't comment, but stood up slowly: "Follow the path on the right to go back to the wooden building, go to rest earlier." He turned and left without giving Zhou Jiayu any chance to ask.

Zhou Jiayu looked at his back, but his mood became a little complicated. He felt that there was something wrong with Lin Zhushui, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu: I can't stand drinking my husband's blood and making my husband hurt for me...

Lin Zhushui: I'm afraid you can't bear it even more if you use other methods.

Zhou Jiayu: Huh? ?
